The fractures are divided into four groups according to the degree of displacement and fracture fragments; this classification provides guidance on treatment options and surgical implants.

Garden type I: Incomplete fracture with valgus impaction
Garden type II: Complete fracture without displacement
Garden type III: Complete fracture with partial displacement of the fracture fragments
Garden type IV: Complete fracture with total displacement, allowing the femoral head to rotate back to an anatomic position

This classification can be further simplified into nondisplaced Garden I and II or displaced Garden III and IV fractures.
